I love the functionality of it (even though I'm more likely to be using the Bluetooth tethering, to be honest). I already filed a bug against NetworkManager connecting to the interface automatically: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633465 My problem is while I have disabled NetworkManager's automatic connection, the kernel module still connects to the device, and I have a constant "Internet Tethering" appearing on my iPhone. Wouldn't it be possible to only check for the service being offered by the device when plugging it in, and actually do the connection to the service when we want to use it (when the interface is upped)? Cheers PS: Re-sent with the correct ML address, sorry Diego
